The University of Prince Edward Island is building on its reputation as one of Canada’s top undergraduate institutions by focusing on international student recruitment as a top priority. According to the Canadian Bureau of International Education, UPEI has led all Canadian universities in international student growth since 2008. One in five UPEI students now comes from outside of Canada. Now, with competition to attract international students increasing around the world, UPEI is upping its recruitment efforts in key international markets, and working to make it easier for international students to stay and work here after they graduate.

The University of Prince Edward Island and the University of Prince Edward Island Faculty Association (UPEIFA) are pleased to announce that a tentative agreement has been reached.

A busy weekend homestand for the Panthers kicks off Friday evening in UPEI MacLauchlan Arena and Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre.

At November’s Island Studies Lecture, Dr. Jean Mitchell will share “Stories of Weathering Cyclone Pam in Vanuatu: Leaf-houses, Flying Foxes, and Body Bags.”

Mike Conway, a Master of Arts in Island Studies candidate and a creative writing student of Dr. Richard Lemm, will launch his first book, Home Plate, Blue Helmet: From Charlottetown to the Holy Land and Back, Thursday, November 3, at 7 pm at the Murphy Community Centre, 200 Richmond Street in Charlottetown. 

Congratulations to Sarah Sear (Women’s Field Hockey) and Matt Mahalak (Men’s Hockey), the UPEI Panther Subway Athletes of the week for October 24-30!

Friday night is going to be rockin’ at the UPEI Chi-Wan Young Sports Centre and MacLauchlan Arena! 

The Aboriginal peoples of Prince Edward Island were honoured today for their collective contributions to the University of Prince Edward Island at the seventeenth annual Recognition of Founders Ceremony. The ceremony is an occasion to honour the many contributions, commitments, and sacrifices that have brought higher education in PEI to where it is today. A goal is to introduce students to UPEI's history and instill in them the belief that they are now a part of it.

It’s a busy couple of days for the Panthers at home for the weekend of October 28-30. UPEI will see action in soccer, hockey, and the Atlantic University Field Hockey Championships.

Teams from UPEI’s School of Business won first and third place at the Atlantic Schools of Business (ASB) Case Competition.
